Hey!
...Those were Groovy times! When I was a little kid, I used
to scratch build little graders and then grade roads in our
back yard. I LOVED to grade roads back then. Vehicular machinery
of all types has always fascinated me and still do to this
day. Since I had been doing a series of construction vehicles
for Monogram, a "Hot Rodded" road grader, or "Blade" as they
are called was a must do item. The backwards facing blown
motor with slick exhaust headers fit neatly behind the custom
cab blended into the custom body. Again, the ultra wide wheels
and low profile tires were way ahead of the trend. (light
years). Someone at Mattel ripped this design off a few years
ago. Tisk-tisk!
